He's kind of twee-looking in the face. A blond, beardless Hercules just doesn't feel right. He-Man must be blond, but Conan must be brunet. They messed up the last Conan movie with similar bad casting. I mean, a Polynesian guy as a Cimmerian?

The large picture is simply not flattering, particularly by the earbuds on Hercules which just looks stupid and might affect a viewer's perception as the eye picks up on that incongruity.

But that actor is definitely handsome when animated and in proper costume on youtube. There he's shown with some technical crap on his neck, but the entire outfit is sort of technical and then in the Hercules scene, he didn't accessorize his sword with an ipod.

It isn't that he isn't handsome, it is that he needs a better publicist.
